About The Landscape Design Center

Rooted in Maryland, Cultivating Long-Lasting Relationships

Since 1974, The Landscape Design Center has been fostering lasting relationships with clients across Anne Arundel, Howard, Prince George’s, Baltimore, and Montgomery Counties. Recognized as one of Central Maryland’s leading landscape design-build firms, this woman-owned and family-operated business goes beyond traditional landscaping services. Their approach blends exceptional craftsmanship with an artistic vision that truly distinguishes them as premier landscaping contractors in the region.

The journey of The Landscape Design Center began when Andrea Lockett, a University of Maryland student, started mowing lawns to help fund her education. Her love for the outdoors and her deep interest in plants and botany soon transformed into a fulfilling career. Andrea’s vision to combine her botanical knowledge with her artistic design skills evolved into the landscape design company now a trusted name in the industry. What began as a small operation with two trucks and three team members has grown into a thriving business with a fleet of ten trucks, five skilled crews, and two properties. With over four decades of experience, Andrea has personally crafted thousands of custom designs, turning her clients’ spaces into tranquil, beautiful retreats.

Our Team Is The Difference

Our crews are some of the hardest working, detail-oriented people you will ever meet. At The Landscape Design Center we cultivate a hardworking family mentality. You work hard, contribute to the team (family), you move forward, and we all move forward. This results in little turnover. Since everyone has worked together for so long, there is less re-training, and less room for errors. Jobs end up running smoother and more efficiently. It is a win-win for everyone.

Andrea – Founder and Senior Designer – Andrea has a background in horticulture and over 40 years of field experience with landscaping, hardscaping, drainage, and waterfront properties. Her organization skills help her clients keep their jobs on schedule and within budget!
